Now, folks, it is utterly im- possible to tell Bill in document form what we think of him or how well we wish him in the future, The fundamental basis of leaders is an understandable knowledge of of human nature and how well he has attained that knowledge can easily be surmised when he is un- consciously able to arouss such '$n- thusiasm among a hody of men as to culminate in such a wonderful response of sociability as we are in the midst of tonight. "Rill, it is my pleasure tn read to ynu a mesesge froin the hoys who hold you in such high esteem end regard." An illuminated seroll which read thus, was then read by Mr, Gil- HAS RIBS BROKEN AS MOTOR TRUCK CROWS WAGON Clayton Wannamaker Taken to Hospital After an Accident 'Clayton Wannamaker, 74 Wil- liam street west, was taken to the Oshawa General Hospital last night following an accident at Olive avenue and Ritson road when a truck was erowded into the bread wagon he was driving, The bread wagon was standing at the side of the curbing on Olive avenue when the truck driven by John Fowler, 372 Verdun road was forced over into it hy a car owned by William Lee, 373 Olive avenue which had turned from Ritson road on to Olive avenue, It is believed that Wannamaker has several ribs broken but his condition as yet has not been defi- nitely decided.Dr. F.

Apart from their looks altogether, intel- ligent dogs would be worth far more than those that are simply prized as pets. Something of this kind is carried out in the north of England, and in Scotland, wheve vearly, sheep dog trials are hele. In these contests the well-trained sheen dogs show intelligence whi~h is almost uncanny. Recently a dog in Kentucky ran into a chureh several times and tueged at ite owner's «oat in an endeavor to draw the man's atten- tion to his burning hom. For his effort the doz was thrown ont.

HUGE AUTOGIROS IN FUTURE SEEN Spanish Inventor Plans to Develop Principle Much Farther 25. --Autogiro air- craft speeding at 250 miles an hour carrying 20 passengers, and, in war service, maintaininz eommuni- cation with airplane ca under all conditions at sea Ww envisag- ed yesterday hy Juan de la Ciniva, younz Spanish inventor of the world's first successful plane of this type. Before leaving Paris for London to obtain new parts for his "wind- mill" ship, which was damaged in an accident in landing at Le Rour- get on Thursday, he outlined his ideas of what his invention will mean to aviation of the future. Although™ his invention which permits an airship to arise from a small area and to land gently ev- en if the engine stalls, in a constries ted space, already insures a vast inerease in flying safety and should bring a great decreake in serious accidents, De la Cierva plans to de- velop his prineiple much farther Today De la Cierva is prepared to market for commercial purposes a diminutive airplane with his saf- ety feature of a horizontal propel- ler turned by the wind, but he is confident that his invention will have equal efficency when applied to huge craft, This would permit a 10 to 20-passenger plane to descend almost anywhere with safety, "There 18 no sound reason why my autogira cannot be built to make a sped of 200 to 250 mil-s an hour," De la Cirrva said. *Per- haps it can never break the world's speed 'record, but it surely ean he built to double the rate of my pre- sent ship. : Paris, Sept. rs "One reason is that the windmill propellers now revolve only 125 to the minute as a maximum. As you noticed the other day, each of the four propellers clearly ean be secon revolvin~ at all times during flight, Obviously that speed can be in- creased until the propellers blur while turning. "The tremendons advantage of the autogiro principle to a fast plane will he the increase in safety, In case of engine trouble, a pilot could parachute down with a dead motor." De la Cierya Is certain thft his invention will revolutionize raval and militgry aviation --in which view the British Air Service appar- ently agrees, as it has taken over all the patents. The engineer explained that au- togiro planes would be able to land at will on aircraft carriers at sca. At present, he said, the ship must be steaming into the wind at a eer- tain speed to enable the plane to land on its deck, and, d rio battle, a carrier might be compelled com- pletely to alter its course in order to pick up the plane. An autogiro plzne, De la Cierva said, merely would have to ent off its motor and drift to the carrier's deck, regardless of the ship's course or angle, Obviously, a coun- try equipped with airplanes able to do that would have an advantaze over a country with ordinary plan- es. De la Cierva sees a field open for his plane in another branch of av- ation, "Imagine the time saved and the risks avoided if air mail could be delivered without foreing the plane to land," he said. "Some experts have said that my autogiro is most like a bird in flight of any airplane. It is the only machine whieh can hover as well as flv. With the autogiro. the pilot could evt off his engne over a sta- tion and float in circles while the mail was lowered. Then, without landing, he could fly on to the next station. "Your American air mail is the ereatest in the world and I always have admired it. but IT am sure my invention would add to its ef- ficiency." i | 'explosion Olive Avenue Explosion . Little New Evidence Brought Out During This Morning's Session " ES Inquiry Presided Over By out of the ordinary had occurred Deputy Fire Marshal E. D. Jordan -- Four Chief Wit- nesses Called -- Incidents Surrounding Explosion Are Recalled An officia linvestigation of the and fire which took place at the home of Norman Stein, 255 Olive avenue on August 2, was opened in the city court room this morning by the Fire Marshall's De- partment of Ontario. E. D. Jordan, deputy fire marshall, conducted the inquiry which was resumed this afternoon. Four main witnesses were called to give evidence and examined by T. Agar, K.C., of Tor- onto. The witnesses, Norman Stein and Frank Buano, were represented hy Louis Hyman, while Mrs. F. Kober- nick and John Polinsky had as their lawyer, D. A. J. Swanson. Norman Stein, who rented the house at 255 Olive avenue, prior to the fire, from Mrs. Frank Kob- ernik, was the first witness to be called, According to the evidenee brought to light at the investiga- tion, Norman Stein, 24, had been living in Oshawa since May of this year, and previous to this had liv- ed in Toronto and Cleveland. Soon after coming to Oshawa he board- ed with Mrs. Kobernick at her own residence, 329 Ritson Road. He had entered into an agreement with Mrs. Kobernick to rent her home on Olive avenue in the lat- ter part of May and forthwith de- cided to obtain furniture to furn- ish the place, Brank Buano was already an oc- cupant of the house, witness stated, and agreed to take over one room of the house while the Stein fam- ily, consisting of Mr. Stein, his wife, and small daughter would occupy the remaining part of the home, "What chattel property did you take to 255 Olive avenue?" asked Mr. Agar. Witness outlined a num- ber of articles which had been purchased to furnish the house. It was stated that this material had been bought in Toronto and transported by truck to the Stein home on Olive avenue, this eity, Two men had aided in bringing it to the city, while another man here had helped unload the furnishings. "What articles did you put in- to that house which were bought in Oshawa?" "I don't remember.' "What stuff did you put into that house previous to the fire af- ter moving into the house?" The Crown Attorney was imperative that the question should be answ- ered, Witness gave a satisfactory answer, "Did you buy anythng in Osh- awa?" "No, sir." : "Did you buy all the material in Toronto?" "Yes." #Then all the property in the house with the exception of an electric kitchen range and the pro- perties of Buano's bedroom belong= ed to you?" "yes" The Crown Attorney next re- quested Mr. Stein to repeat the incidents surrounding the explosion and fire. Witness began hy stating that he was at the telephone when the explosion occurred. John Po- linsky, a friend of Buano's and Buano himself were in the house just previous to the time the ex- plosion took place, but had left the house after one another about five minutes previously. "Did you know that they left the house?" "Yes." "Where was Polinsky when he was in the house?" "He was in the cellar putting empty beer bottles there at the request of Buano." "Have you learped since what caused the explosion?" Witness said he had no idea, and bad not gone into the cellar for three or four days after the acel- dent, due to his having received serious injuries caused by the ex- plosion. Stein said he had made no effort to learn the cause of the oceurrence. "You believe the explosion oc- curred in the cellar, however?" asked the crown. "Yes, I do." "Was the furnace damaged when yon finally did go down into the cellar?" "Yes, it was." "What was the nature of the damage?" "¥Fairly badly smashed up." "Furnace smashed inward?" "No, outward." The erown then asked if the fire followed the explosion or preced- ed it to which Stein answered that he did not know, having been taken away Imnpyediately following the accident. To obtain information concern- ing the fire seven days later in the same house, the crown was at a loss to do so from Stein, he not having been in the vicinity of the house since a week previous. The house since the frst explosion and fire, he said, had remained unoec- cupied. "Your jdea, is that children in the house through curiosity had caused the fire, though?" Steim was asked. Witness replied that it was. . Only intimating that something had which called in the attention of the police at the time of the explosion was he presence of a gasoline eam lin the cellar which fit was stated, the police removed. Witness laid no claim to having ever seem the can before. 2 CAUSES FOR DEPLETION OF THE LAKE ERIE FISH Unwise Angling and Too Heavy Hauls Responsible Says Investigator Buffalo, Sept 26.--Unwise ang« ling and too heavy hauls are res« ponsible for the depletion of Lake Erie's fish supply, Dr. Charles J, Fish, director of the Buffalo So= ciety of Natural Sciences, said toe day, in making the first announces ment of the results of the internat ional survey. Explainint that all other factors were studied and eliminated as pos- sible causes, Dr. Fish said that "ex= cept in shallow water, storms ean- not destroy eggs and helpless fry." Fishermen along the lake have be- lieved that lashing of waters by strong winds destroyed the young fish. "It may be that damage to fish- ing gear in deep water is caused by submarine currents," Le said. "But, however, violent they are, there is not the churning action found in surface water and al- though no doubt an important fae« tor in transporting eggs and young fry from on place to another, they probably exert little or no destrue- tive action." The lake, he sald, Is capable of supporting as many fish as ever and the remedy for overfishing lies with legislative bodies having cone trol over it."
